If you watched the "Tannins vs. Acidity" video on my youtube channel (Michael Geary), and want to more know about the wines I chose, look below.
If you haven't watched the video yet, watch it here first, then come back. I go over the key differences between tannins and acidity.
Here is the high tannin (like a slap in the mouth) wine:
Caparazo, Rosso di Montalcino
Winery: Caparazo
From: Rosso di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Grape: 100% Sangiovese
Vintage (Year): 2016
Ratings: 90 points - Wine Spectator
Price: $18-25
Winemaker's Notes: Intense Ruby Red. Its bouquet is full and persistent, reminiscent of violets, raspberry, and pomegranate. On the palate it is warm, dry, generous and well balanced.
Here is the saliva inducing, high acid wine:
Bouchard Père & Fils, Reserve Bourgogne
Winery: Bouchard Pére & Fils
From: Bourgogne (Burgundy), France
Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage (Year): 2016
Ratings: Vivino - 3.6 of 5
Price: $18-22
Winemaker's Notes: Intense color. Very aromatic bouquet of small ripe red fruits (cherry, raspberry, currant). Beautiful flesh in the mouth, a delicious marriage where tannins and fruits are pleasantly mixed.
Pair with: roasts, poultry, meat pies, medium-flavored cheeses.
